LIAQUAT ALI'S
ALI'S APPEAL
FOR
IMPLEMENTATION
OF DELHI AGREEMENT
Karachi, April 10.
Liaquat Ali Khan, Pakistan's Premier, concluding an hour's Press con- ference today, appealed to the assembled local and foreign corres- pondents to help" "in this noble task of creating peaceful conditions on both sides of the border."
He hoped that some of those newspapers which had been not too moderate in the past would look on things in a different light in future, he said.
"The lives of millions depend on the implementation of this agreement
and it is the duty of everyone to serve humanity,” he said.
